• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Husky 610 96 ignition issues help, I have a 96 610 has been running fine up until recently when it stopped while out, no spark, I've checked the usual stuff bad earth loose connector kill switch etc, as there is no battery to make it easier I am unsure of how to test cdi and coil, I've had the testers on the generator I've hot continuity between the green and white wires and when I kick it by hand I get a small reading but nothing between any other wires, my logic tells me to just try another generator, has anyone had any similar issues the bike was stood for a while before being reinstated but ran for months before this fault, I've heard or flywheel magnets becoming loose and bonded back in but this bike appears to have had this work already done, if anyone can see anything glaringly obvious from the pics please let me know cheers James image.jpg

you are on the track, just remember simple first, check your plug, check your cap check your wire, check the kill switch system. then get in deeper coil and rotor and stator. I recall Up-Tite Husky doing a common issue repair to flywheel/rotor assembly because the magnets actually slip within their epoxy as an assembly screwing up the timing. Verify the that the magnets are solid to eliminate that possibility.
